For many in education, using data and research can be both challenging and uninspiring. This session provides an enthusiastic look at how some schools are leveraging their own tools and methods to provide more meaningful and empirically-rich data on those topics they care most about. Designed for school leadership and the data hungry educator, attendees will learn about the latest developments and tools for data collection, analyses, and data visualizations by interacting directly with different tools to create and analyze their own data based on their own needs and interests.
